Diane Evans <diane_evans -at- hotmail -dot- com> was shocked, shocked to find out that
"trial" is a verb in an Australian dictionary.

Well, of course; it is in a US dictionary, too. In 'Strine, to trial is to
allow to drag or stream behind, or to follow, as in the scent.

You just have to adjust for the accent 8^| <-- straight face
